ARTICLE II
DESCRIPTION OF PREMISES AND APPURTENANT RIGHTS

2.1 LOCATION OF PREMISES

The Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby accepts from Landlord, the Premises identified on Exhibits A-1 and A-2 in the Building, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Nothing in Exhibit A shall be treated as a representation that the Premises or the Building shall be precisely of the area, dimensions, or shapes as shown, it being the intention of the parties only to show diagrammatically, rather than precisely, on Exhibits A-1 and A-2 the layout of the Premises and the Building. However, for the purposes of this Lease the rentable square footage of (i) the Third Floor Space will be 10,203, (ii) the Lower Level Space will be 4,968, and (iii) the Building will be 178,697 and not subject to re-measurement during the initial or any renewal term of this Lease.

2.2 APPURTENANT RIGHTS AND RESERVATIONS

Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, rights to use in common with others entitled thereto the common facilities included in the Building or the Lot, including common walkways, driveways, lobbies, hallways, ramps, elevators and stairways and the cafeteria and exercise room in the Building. Such rights shall always be subject to reasonable rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord by suitable notice, and to the right of Landlord to designate and to change from time to time the areas and facilities so to be used, provided that any such change shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises. Tenant shall be afforded the non-exclusive right to use up to 52 parking spaces within the parking areas based on a parking ratio of 3.4 spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises. Nothing contained in the Lease shall prohibit or otherwise restrict Landlord from changing, from time to time, without notice to Tenant, the layout or type of such parking areas, provided that Landlord shall not reduce the number of parking spaces available for Tenants’ use and provided that such changed layout or type of spaces shall be at least as convenient to the Building as currently configured. Subject to reasonable rules from time to time made by Landlord of which Tenant is given notice, Tenant shall have the right, in common with all other tenants of the Building, to use such parking areas, without charge through the Lease Term, on a first-come, first-served basis up to the number of Tenant’s parking spaces set forth in Section 1.2. Landlord shall uniformly and diligently enforce the parking requirements of each tenant’s lease.

Not included in the Premises are the roof or ceiling, the floor and all perimeter walls of the space identified in Exhibit A, except the inner surfaces thereof and the perimeter doors and windows (excluding exterior windows). The Landlord reserves the right to install, use, maintain, repair and replace in the Premises (but in such manner as not unreasonably to interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises) utility lines, shafts, pipes, and the like, in, over and upon the Premises, provided that the same are located above the dropped ceiling (or, if there is no dropped ceiling, then within three (3) feet of the roof and/or floor deck), below the floor surfaces or tight against demising walls or columns.

Landlord agrees to repair any damage to the Premises caused by the installation of any such items. Such utility lines, shafts, pipes and the like shall not be deemed part of the Premises under this Lease. The Landlord also reserves the right to alter or relocate any common facility, so long as the cafeteria and fitness center remain in the Building, and to change the lines of the Building parking lot.

2.3 RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

Provided no Default of Tenant (as defined in Article XIV) has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period at the time Tenant elects to exercise its rights hereunder, Tenant shall have the one-time right from and after the date of this Lease through the entire Lease Term (as may be extended hereunder) of first offer to lease any space contiguous to the Premises on the third floor of the Building that becomes available for occupancy (the “ Available Space ”), subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.3 and any rights of then-existing tenants of such Available Space. If at any time from and after the date of this Lease through the remaining Term of this Lease (as may be extended hereunder) there shall be any Available Space, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof in writing (“ Landlord’s Available Space Notice ”), which notice shall include the anticipated date upon which such Available Space shall be available for occupancy by Tenant along with a floor plan

5

showing the approximate rentable square footage thereof as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant shall have the right to lease all or a portion of such Available Space only by giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Xxxxxx receives Landlord’s Available Space Notice, time being of the essence. If Tenant so elects to lease all or a portion of the Available Space, such Available Space shall be leased upon the same terms and conditions contained in this Lease, and the term shall expire on the same date as the existing Lease, except that: the Base Rent for such space shall be equal to then-current Base Rent (on a per rentable square foot basis) payable under this Lease for the Premises; provided, however, with respect to the applicable Available Space, the base year for operating expense escalation shall be the first full calendar year following Xxxxxx’s occupancy of the applicable Available Space and for real estate tax escalation shall be the first full fiscal year following Xxxxxx’s occupancy of the applicable Available Space, and, subject to the foregoing, the applicable Available Space shall be and become part of the Premises hereunder upon the delivery of such Available Space to Tenant. Landlord shall deliver exclusive, broom clean possession of such Available Space to Tenant with the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical, plumbing, mechanical and fire/life safety systems serving the Available Space in good working order. It is understood and agreed that the applicable Available Space shall otherwise be leased by Tenant in its then “as is”, “where-is” condition, without warranty or representation by Landlord and Landlord shall have no obligation to complete any work to prepare the Available Space for Tenant’s use and occupancy. Following such election by Xxxxxx, and effective as of the delivery of the applicable Available Space and for the balance of the Term and any extension thereof: (a) the “Premises”, as used in this Lease, shall include the applicable Available Space; (b) the rentable square feet of the Premises shall be increased to include the rentable square footage of the applicable Available

Space; (c) the annual Base Rent shall equal the sum of the Base Rent provided for in this Lease plus the Base Rent for the applicable Available Space as determined as set forth herein; (d) Tenant shall have the right to use up to an additional 3.4 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Available Space, without charge; and (e) “Tenant’s Proportionate Share”, solely for the applicable Available Space, shall be a percentage computed in the manner set forth in Section 1.2 of this Lease with the rentable square footage of the applicable Available Space. To confirm the inclusion of the Available Space as set forth above, Landlord shall prepare, and Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver, an Amendment to Lease reflecting the foregoing terms and incorporation of any Available Space. Xxxxxxxx agrees to use reasonable efforts to remove any hold over occupant of the Available Space and to otherwise obtain possession of the Available Space, including, without limitation, the institution and diligent prosecution of hold-over proceedings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.3, if for any reason Landlord fails to deliver the Available Space to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date stated in Landlord’s Available Space Notice upon which the Available Space will be available for occupancy by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to terminate its acceptance of Landlord’s offer of the Available Space and shall be relieved of any obligation to lease the Available Space pursuant to this Section 2.3. For the purposes hereof, space shall be deemed “ available for occupancy ” when any lease or occupancy agreement (including extension periods) has expired or is due to expire within six (6) months, or Landlord has elected not to renew the lease of the present tenant, and any prior options, rights or rights to lease with respect to such Available Space in effect as of the date of this Lease have expired or been waived and Landlord is free to lease such space to third parties without restriction.

If Tenant fails to timely exercise any of its rights hereunder, the right(s) granted hereunder as to the applicable Available Space shall be deemed waived for all purposes, and Landlord may lease the applicable Available Space to any party and upon any terms free of any rights of Tenant.

Tenant understands that its rights under this Section are and shall be subject and subordinate to the following rights of first offer granted to other tenants of the Building having space on the third floor of the Building prior to the date of execution and delivery of this Lease:

ARTICLE III TERM OF LEASE: CONDITION OF PREMISES

3.1 TERM OF LEASE

The term of this Lease shall be the period specified in Section 1.2 hereof as the “Lease Term” commencing on the Term Commencement Date and terminating the last day of the seventy-sixth (76 th ) calendar month thereafter (the “ Lease Term ”)(plus any partial calendar month if the Term Commencement Date occurs on any other day other than the first day of a calendar month), unless the Lease Term is extended under Section 3.2 below or terminated early pursuant to the terms hereof, including such rights afforded Landlord under Article XIV.

3.2 EXTENSION OPTION

Tenant may elect to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) sixty (60) month period with respect to the entire Premises or the Third Floor Space only (the “ Extension Term ”), by giving Landlord notice of such election no later than nine (9) months before the expiration of the Lease Term, provided Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods, both on the date such notice is given and on the commencement date of the Extension Term. Such extension shall be upon the same terms, covenants, and conditions contained in this Lease except that (a) Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease Term past this 60 month Extension Term, (b) there shall be no free rent period with respect to the Extension Term (except as otherwise provided in the determination of the Fair Market Rental Value), and (c) the Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be at a rate equal to the Fair Market Rental Value therefore determined as set forth in Section 4.5 below (including the application of updated Base Years for Operating Costs and Taxes).

3.3 CONDITION OF PREMISES

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant is leasing the Premises in “as is, where is” condition with all faults and without representation or warranty by Landlord of any kind or nature, express or implied in fact or in law by Landlord and without recourse to Landlord as to the nature, condition or usability thereof. With the exception of the Landlord’s Work, Tenant, at its sole cost, expense and risk, shall perform and make any alterations, improvements or installations in the Premises which are necessary for Tenant’s use and/or occupancy of the Premises. Notwithstanding the above, in addition to Landlord’s Work, Landlord, at its expense, shall deliver the Premises on the Term Commencement Date (i) free from asbestos-containing materials and any other materials recognized by law to be "hazardous" or "toxic," and (ii) otherwise in compliance with all applicable laws and codes, (iii) with the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical, plumbing, mechanical and fire/life safety systems serving the Premises in good working order, and (iv) vacant, free from personal property and with all wire fencing in the Lower Level Premises removed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing under this Section 3.3 shall obligate Landlord to install prior to delivery of the Premises any heating, ventilating, air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and fire/life safety systems in the Lower Level Premises to the extent not installed as of such delivery date but rather are within the scope of Landlord’s Work.

3.4 EARLY POSSESSION

Provided that (a) Tenant does not interfere with or delay the completion by Landlord or its agents or contractors of the Landlord’s Work, and (b) Tenant has timely paid all amounts due as the Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs, Tenant shall have the right to enter the Premises up to thirty (30) days prior to the Term Commencement Date for the purpose of installing equipment, furniture, wiring and establishing general operations. Tenant shall be liable for any damages or delays caused by Xxxxxx’s activities at the Premises. Provided that Tenant has not begun operating its business from the Premises, and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease (other than the obligation to pay Rent), the foregoing activity shall not constitute the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant and the Lease term shall not commence as a result of said activities. Prior to entering the Premises, Tenant shall obtain all insurance it is required to obtain by the Lease and shall provide certificates of said insurance to Landlord. Tenant shall coordinate such entry with Xxxxxxxx’s Building manager, and such entry shall be made in compliance with all terms and conditions of this Lease and the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit C.

3.5 LANDLORD’S WORK.

(a) No later than the Effective Date, Landlord shall cause to be delivered to Tenant for Tenant’s review (or otherwise make available to Tenant in the plan room located in the lower level of the Building) all construction and mechanical engineering plans and documents (both those in hard copy and CAD) in Landlord’s possession in order for Xxxxxx’s architect to review and complete the Tenant fitout planning for Landlord’s Work for the Premises containing sufficient detail in order for Landlord (or the Approved Contractor) to obtain all applicable permits and governmental approvals and otherwise consistent with the Landlord’s Work (the “ Construction Drawings”) . Landlord represents to Tenant it has provided to Tenant a full set of CAD drawings for the third floor of the Building and hard copy plans for the remainder of the Building, but otherwise cannot assure Tenant or its architect that it can provide further existing architectural or mechanic plans for the Building that Tenant or its architect may require. Tenant shall cause to be delivered to Landlord on or before June 15, 2017 the Construction Drawings for Landlord’s approval, which approval of Landlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and will be granted or withheld within five (5) days after Xxxxxx’s delivery of same to Landlord. If Landlord disapproves the proposed Construction Drawings, Landlord shall specify the basis for such disapproval in reasonable detail, and Tenant will cause its architect to revise the Construction Drawings to address such deficiencies and promptly submit the same to Landlord. The scope of Landlord’s review of any such revised Construction Drawings will be limited to Xxxxxx’s architect’s correction of the items specified by Landlord in Landlord’s notice of disapproval. Landlord will notify Tenant of Landlord’s approval or disapproval of such revised Construction Drawings within five (5) days following receipt of same, and this process shall continue until Landlord has approved the Construction Drawings (with such approved Construction Drawings constituting the “ Approved Construction Drawings ”). Landlord and Tenant confirm and agree that the Approved Constructing Drawings shall be fully approved by July 1, 2017 in order to allow the parties sufficient time to timely

approve the Landlord’s Approved Contractor and complete Landlord’s Work in accordance with this Lease.

(b) As set forth in the prior paragraph (a), Landlord and Tenant shall on or before July 1, 2017 agree upon the work to be done within the Premises as shown on the Approved Construction Drawings by the Landlord (by and through the Approved Contractor) prior to the Term Commencement Date (the “ Landlord’s Work ”) pursuant to the Approved Construction Drawings. Tenant shall have the right, as part of Landlord’s Work, to install in the Premises and thereafter maintain and operate its own heating, ventilating, and/or air-conditioning units to provide heating, ventilating and cooling to the Premises, including without limitation, equipment and support structures in a portion of the Building or Land outside the Premises as requested by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord (collectively, the “ Supplemental HVAC ”), which Supplemental HVAC shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, as more particularly described in Section 3.5(a) hereof. Landlord and Xxxxxx agree to mutually cooperate with one another in finalizing the Landlord’s Work schedule. The portion of the cost of Landlord's Work in the amount of the Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs shall be borne by Tenant, with the balance borne and paid for entirely by Landlord, as more fully set forth below in Section 3.6. The Landlord's Work shall be performed by Landlord's Approved Contractor to be selected in accordance with this Lease and the cost of Landlord's Work shall include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the entire cost of demolishing the existing improvements and building out the Premises in accordance with the Approved Construction Drawings, (b) the cost of all materials and labor related to the Landlord's Work and all permit fees, (c) the cost of full scale architectural and engineering costs in connection therewith (including the cost of Tenant’s architect), (d) a construction management fee payable to Lincoln Property Company (or any affiliated entity) equal to three percent (3%) of the so-called “hard costs” of the Landlord’s Work, and (e) the "Cost of the Work", as defined in AIA Document A111 (1987 Edition) (and also specifically including the cost of the general conditions of the Approved Contractor). Landlord’s Work shall otherwise be performed in a good and workmanlike manner.

Tenant shall have the right to install as part of Tenant’s Initial Work its own security system at the entry to and within the Premises.

3.6 TENANT ALLOWANCE; TENANT OBLIGATION TO FUND TENANT’S SHARE OF EXCESS LANDLORD’S WORK COSTS

(a) Landlord agrees to fund the cost of the Landlord’s Work in an amount not to exceed $357,105.00 (the “ TI Allowance ”), and Tenant (at Landlord’s sole election) shall be liable to pay to the Approved Contractor or Landlord (as first dollars paid under the Approved Contractor’s General Contract (“ General Contract ”) until the balance due under the General Contract equals the TI Allowance) any and all costs of the Landlord’s Work in excess of the TI Allowance (the “ Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs ”). If the total cost of Landlord’s Work is less than the TI Allowance, Tenant shall have the right to allocate such unused portion of the TI Allowance as a monthly credit against Base Rent until fully applied. The Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs, at the Landlord’s sole election and direction, shall either (i) be paid by Tenant directly to the Approved Contractor (who shall be engaged by Xxxxxxxx), or (ii) be paid to Landlord prior to Landlord having to fund any TI Allowance funds towards the General Contract until such time as the remaining cost of Landlord’s Work is equal to the TI Allowance (taking into account all amounts paid on prior requisitions and upon payment of any pending requisition by the Approved Contractor). Landlord upon request by Tenant shall provide to Tenant sufficient backup and detail (including all executed lien waivers delivered to Landlord and/or Approved Contractor to date for work and materials in place and evidence that Landlord shall fund in full the TI Allowance) to evidence (i) the total cost of the Landlord’s Work to date as requisitioned by and paid by Xxxxxx as provided hereunder, as set forth on standard AIA forms, and (ii) the total remaining costs to complete the Landlord’s Work and the amounts previously funded by Tenant as the Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs. Tenant shall pay the Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs (to either the Approved Contractor or Landlord) within ten (10) business days of written direction by Landlord absent any good faith dispute to be delivered by Tenant to Landlord during such ten (10) business day period (and shall include a detailed basis for such dispute), if at all. If Xxxxxx does have a good faith dispute as to any amounts alleged owed, it shall timely pay all amounts not in dispute to the Landlord or Approved Contractor, as the case may be. The determination as to the payment of any disputed amounts shall be determined by the Landlord’s architect within ten (10) business days of receipt of a copy of such Xxxxxx dispute notice, whose decision in such matters shall be final and binding on the parties. If Tenant fails to timely pay any Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs following such ten (10) business day period absent any good faith dispute, or fails to timely pay such amounts within ten (10) business days of the final determination of Landlord’s architect as to any dispute this failure shall constitute a monetary default under this Lease, and thereafter Landlord may elect to exercise any of it remedies set forth herein relative thereto. In the event that the cost of Xxxxxxxx’s Work is less than the TI Allowance, Landlord will be reimburse any overpayment made by Tenant of Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs within ten (10) business days of Tenant’s receipt of the confirmation from Landlord, as provided in (i) and (ii) above in this paragraph evidencing Landlord’s Work Costs. If Tenant fails to timely pay the Tenant’s Share of Landlord’s Work Costs, all such amounts due and owing shall accrue at the Lease Interest Rate which interest amounts shall accrue and be paid in addition to the unpaid Tenant’s Share of Landlord Work Costs. Once Landlord is obligated to fund the TI Allowance hereunder, it shall timely pay the Approved Contractor directly all such amounts required in order to pay for completion of Landlord’s Work (subject to any agreed-upon change orders and any associated costs but otherwise on a timely basis in accordance with Landlord’s General Contract with Approved Contractor to complete such work) subject to procurement from the Approved Contractor of all backup and detail (including all executed lien waivers) as required of Approved Contractor under its General Contract with Landlord.

Under no circumstances shall the Landlord have a right to agree to any change order proposed by the Approved Contractor or otherwise agree to increase the cost of the Landlord’s Work resulting in any increase in the Tenant’s Share of Landlord’s Work Costs absent the prior written consent of the Tenant. In the event Landlord and Tenant agree to a change order which increases the cost of the Landlord’s Work, such shall be evidenced by the appropriate AIA form and Tenant shall expressly agree with Landlord to increase the Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs attributable to such General Contract cost increase prior to Landlord being obligated to execute and deliver same or direct the Approved Contractor to modify the scope of the Xxxxxxxx’s Work accordingly.

3.7 LANDLORD’S AND TENANT INITIAL WORK; DELAYS.

(a) Subject to any Tenant Delays, Xxxxxxxx agrees to use due diligence to cause to be completed the Landlord’s Work on or before October 15, 2017 (“ Outside Date ”).  Landlord shall not be required to install any

9

improvements which are not in conformity with the Approved Construction Drawings or which do not comply with applicable law, ordinances or codes. In case of delays due to governmental regulation, unusual scarcity or inability to obtain labor or materials, labor difficulties, casualty or other causes reasonably beyond Landlord’s control (other than lack of funds), the Outside Date shall be extended for the period of such delays.

(b) If the Landlord is unable to give possession of the Premises on the Outside Date because the Premises are not substantially complete due to Tenant Delays (as said term is hereinafter defined), the Term Commencement Date (and Outside Date) shall be extended for each day following the date that Landlord could have delivered the Premises (after having substantially completed the Landlord’s Work) but for the Tenant Delay, and Landlord shall otherwise be obligated thereafter to timely deliver the Premises in accordance with this Lease as soon as practicable once Tenant cures such Tenant Delay. In such an event of Tenant Delay, for each day the Outside Date is extended the Free Rent Period shall be shortened. The term “ Tenant Delay ” shall mean any of the following, if applicable: (i) Tenant’s failure to timely pay to the Landlord or Approved Contractor any amount due as the Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs, (ii) Tenant’s failure to deliver the plans and specifications to Landlord, in accordance with any time frames provided by Landlord herein, for the completion of or in performing the Landlord’s Work, including, without limitation, Tenant’s failure to cause the Construction Drawings to be delivered to Landlord by June 15, 2017; or (iii) any delay in achieving substantial completion of Landlord’s Work caused by or related to Tenant’s change orders, requests for change orders or the time involved in processing, authorizing and/or withdrawing requests for change orders or selection of materials or in considering whether to proceed with a change order; (iv) any delay by Tenant in providing its approval of any items, materials or other Landlord’s Work related work or materials; (v) Tenant errors in or incompletion respecting the plans or specifications related thereto; (vi) delays caused by Tenant’s architect (if one is so engaged), or (vii) any other delay in achieving substantial completion caused by Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors(notice of which will be provided by Landlord to Tenant); provided however, there shall be no postponement of the Outside Date or reduction of the Free Rent Period until the date that is two (2) business days after the delivery of such notice by Landlord, unless Tenant cures such Tenant Delay within such two (2) business day period.  In determining the length of any delay related to a Tenant Delay, the cumulative effect of such delay shall apply.

(c) Subject to Tenant Delays and Force Majeure Events (as defined below) or any other delays beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (other than lack of funds), if Landlord shall be unable to give possession of the Premises on the Outside Date (as same may have been extended as provided herein) because the Landlord’s Work is not substantially completed or because the Premises are not completed and ready for occupancy, and such delay continues past the Outside Date, Tenant have the elective right to do as follows: (i) if the delay continues past December 15, 2017, it may, but is not obligated, to complete the Landlord’s Work, at its sole cost and expense, and following taking possession have the right to credit such amounts against future Base Rent (following any Free Rent Period) due and owing hereunder from the Term Commencement Date, as defined herein, (and shall provide Landlord with written backup documentation as to Tenant’s payment of such costs prior to applying any such Base Rent credit), (ii) if the delay continues past December 15, 2017, it may terminate this Lease effective as of December 15, 2017, by providing written notice to Landlord by December 24, 2017 following which this Lease shall terminate and the Parties shall have no further obligations hereunder, other than to return to Tenant the security deposit and prepaid rent, and except pursuant to those provisions of this Lease which expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination thereof, or (iii) if the delay continues past the Outside Date, it may elect by providing notice to Landlord within five (5) days after the Outside Date to extend the time for completion of Landlord’s Work in which case it shall receive a per diem Base Rent credit for each day substantial completion of Landlord’s Work occurs after the Outside Date, which Base Rent credit shall be in addition to the Free Rent Period but shall not exceed as a cap a Base Rent credit equivalent to a sixty (60) day delay even if such delay is longer than sixty (60) days.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no rights under this Section 3.7(c) in the event it has failed to timely pay any Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs unless such failure involves only those unpaid amounts subject to a good faith dispute as contemplated under Section 3.5.

(d) Following the Tenant’s delivery of the Construction Drawings to Landlord, the Landlord shall competitively bid out the Landlord’s Work to at least three (3) mutually acceptable qualified general contractors (if there are changes to the Construction Drawings before same become the Approved Construction Drawings, such changes shall be addressed as addendum or change order during the bidding process). Tenant shall have the right to

10

include one additional prospective general contractor from whom Landlord shall procure a bid for Xxxxxxxx’s Work. Following this competitive bidding process, Landlord and Xxxxxx shall work cooperatively with each other in selecting a mutually acceptable and duly qualified general contractor (including without limitation, Xxxxxx’s right to interview the proposed general contractors and determine if the bids are responsive). In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable general contractor despite such efforts, Tenant shall have the final right to select the general contractor (the general contractor finally selected, the “ Approved Contractor ”) with Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably, withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such contractor shall be fully qualified to timely undertake and complete the Landlord’s Work, and be fully and lawfully insured and licensed. Tenant shall, within one (1) week after its receipt of the final bid estimate from the Approved Contractor or the final bid and a detailed statement of the cost of Landlord’s Work, be entitled to approve or disapprove such cost for Landlord’s Work in writing. If Tenant disapproves such cost, Tenant shall meet with Landlord and the Approved Contractor within five (5) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s disapproval notice to (a) agree upon revisions to the Construction Drawings or Approved Construction Drawings so that the cost of Landlord’s Work shall be reduced to an amount that is either (i) equal to or less than the TI Allowance or (ii) acceptable to Tenant or (b) negotiate with the Approved Contractor for a reduction in the cost of Landlord’s Work. In all cases the Approved Contractor shall be selected and engaged on or before July 15, 2017 in order to afford sufficient time for the timely completion of Landlord’s Work.

(e) All of the Tenant’s Initial Work shall be coordinated with Landlord’s Work, and any other work being performed by Landlord and in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations and not damage the Building or interfere with Building operation and, except for installation of furnishings, shall be performed by contractors or workmen first approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.  Except for work by the Approved Contractor, Tenant before Tenant’s Initial Work and/or any Tenant alteration work is started, Tenant shall:  secure all licenses and permits necessary therefore; deliver to Landlord a statement of the names of all its contractors and subcontractors; and cause each contractor to carry workmen’s compensation insurance in statutory amounts covering all the contractor’s and subcontractor’s employees and commercial general liability insurance and property damage insurance in limits with respect to commercial general insurance, $1,000,000/$2,000,000 and with respect to property damage insurance, $500,000 (all such insurance to be written in companies reasonably approved by Landlord and naming Tenant as insured and naming Landlord, and  Xxxxxxxx’s mortgagee as additional insureds), and to deliver to Landlord certificates of all such insurance. Xxxxxx agrees to pay promptly when due the entire cost of any work done on the Premises for the Tenant’s Initial Work, and not to cause or permit any liens for labor or materials performed or furnished in connection therewith to attach to the Premises or the Property and immediately to discharge any such liens (or bond the same off within thirty (30) days after notice of the filing thereof) which may so attach.  Upon completion of Tenant’s Initial Work, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord original lien releases and waivers executed by each contractor, subcontractor, supplier materialmen, architect, engineer or other party which furnished labor, materials or other services in connection with such work and pursuant to which all liens, claims and other rights of such party with respect to labor, material or services furnished in connection with such work are unconditionally released and waived.

(f) The Landlord’s Work and any other work required of Landlord pursuant to this Section 3 shall be deemed approved by Tenant when Xxxxxx commences occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Uses, except for any “punch list items” and any latent defects. Promptly upon the receipt of a list of such punch list items, Landlord shall commence and diligently pursue completion of such items and complete same within thirty (30) days of receipt of such punch list items.

(g) Tenant assumes full and complete responsibility to ensure that Landlord’s Work is adequate to fully meet the needs and requirements of Tenant’s business operations within the Premises and Tenant’s use of the Premises.  Neither the approval by Landlord of the Approved Construction Drawings or any plans, specifications, drawings or other items associated with Landlord’s Work nor Landlord’s performance, supervision or monitoring of the Landlord’s Work shall constitute any warranty or covenant by Landlord to Tenant as to the adequacy of the design for Tenant’s intended use of the Premises.

3.8 GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO CONSTRUCTION.

All construction work required or permitted by this Lease by Tenant and Landlord (including the Approved Contractor) shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws and all ordinances, regulations and orders of governmental authority.

ARTICLE IV
RENT

4.1 RENT PAYMENTS

The Base Rent (at the rates specified in Section 1.2 hereof) and the additional rent or other charges payable pursuant to this Lease shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord at the Payment Address or such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate by notice to Tenant without any demand, counterclaim offset, or deduction whatsoever unless and except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease.

(a) Subject to the Free Rent Period during which period Base Rent shall be abated, commencing on the Term Commencement Date, Base Rent and the monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Tax Excess and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs Excess shall be payable in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the term of this Lease. As used in this Lease, the term “ lease year ” shall mean any calendar year or part thereof falling within the Lease Term.

(b) Base Rent and the monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Tax Excess and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs Excess for any partial month shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord at such rate on a pro rata basis based on the number of days in such month and the number of days in such year. Any other charges payable by Tenant on a monthly basis, as hereinafter provided, shall likewise be prorated.

(c) For purposes herein, Base Rent and the monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Tax Excess and Xxxxxx’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs Excess for any partial month, as well as any other charges due by Tenant hereunder, shall be deemed “ Rent .” “ Additional Rent ” or “ additional rent ” consists of all such other sums of money as shall become due from and payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder other than Base Rent, and, unless another due date is provided for in this Lease with respect thereto, additional rent shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand by Xxxxxxxx, accompanied by invoices substantiating same.

(d) Rent not paid within ten (10) days of the date due shall bear interest at a rate (the “ Lease Interest Rate ”) equal to the lesser of (i) the so-called prime rate of interest charged from time to time by Bank of America, or its successor, plus two percent (2%) per annum or (ii) the maximum legally permissible rate, from the due date until paid.

(e) If any Rent or any other payments due hereunder from Tenant are not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof, Tenant shall be charged a late fee of $250.00 for each late payment for each month or portion thereof that said payment remains outstanding. Said late fee shall be payable in addition to and not in exclusion of any other remedies of Landlord on account of such late payments, including without limitation the obligation to pay interest on late payments, as provided above.

4.2 REAL ESTATE TAX

(a) The term “ Taxes ” shall mean all taxes and assessments (including without limitation, assessments for public improvements or benefits) and other charges or fees in the nature of taxes for municipal services which at any time during or in respect of the Lease Term may be assessed, levied, confirmed or imposed on or in respect of, or be a

12

lien upon, the Building and the Lot, or any part thereof, or any rent therefrom or any estate, right, or interest therein, or any occupancy, use, or possession of such property or any part thereof, and ad valorem taxes for any personal property used in connection with the Building or Lot. Taxes shall not include any penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s non-payment of Taxes or to file any tax or information returns when due. Landlord represents that the Building and the Lot are fully-assessed, and are not subject to any Tax abatements or exemptions or special assessments.

Should the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or any political subdivision thereof, or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Building, (1) impose a tax, assessment, charge or fee, which Landlord shall be required to pay, by way of substitution for or as a supplement to such Taxes, or (2) impose a tax on rents in substitution for or as a supplement to a tax levied against the Building or the Lot or any part thereof and/or the personal property used in connection with the Building or the Lot or any part thereof, all such taxes, assessments, fees or charges (“ Substitute Taxes ”) shall be deemed to constitute Taxes hereunder, but any such Substitute Taxes shall be computed as if the Building and Land were the only property of Landlord and the rents received by Landlord were the only income of Landlord. Taxes shall also include, in the year paid, all reasonable fees and costs incurred by Landlord in seeking to obtain a reduction of, or a limit on the increase in, any Taxes, regardless of whether any reduction or limitation is obtained. Tenant shall receive a proportionate credit for any such net tax abatements that Landlord receives during the Term, based on Tenant’s Base Tax Year and previous payments. Except as hereinabove provided with regard to Substitute Taxes, Taxes shall not include any inheritance, excise, estate, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, net income or capital stock tax.

The term “ Tax Period ” shall mean the period during the Term during which Taxes are required to be paid under applicable law. Thus, under the law presently in effect in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Tax Period means the period from July 1 of a calendar year to June 30 of the subsequent calendar year.

(b) Commencing on the Tax Period beginning July 1, 2018, in the event that the Taxes during any Tax Period exceed the Base Tax Amount, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such excess (the “ Tax Excess ”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord, together with monthly payments of Base Rent, pro rata monthly installments on account of the projected Tax Excess for each Tax Period reasonably calculated by Landlord from time to time by Landlord with an adjustment made after the close of the Tax Period, to account for actual Tax Excess for such Tax Period. Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of all tax bills for a Tax Period with any notice or payment requested made under this subsection. If the total of such monthly installments in any Tax Period is greater than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of actual Tax Excess for such Tax Period, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against Xxxxxx’s rental obligations hereunder in the amount of such difference or, if the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has no outstanding monetary obligations to Landlord, Landlord shall promptly pay such amount to Tenant. If the total of such monthly installments is less than such liability for such Tax Period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such difference within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives Landlord’s invoice therefore, together with all supporting and backup documentation relevant thereto.

(c) If any Taxes, with respect to which Tenant shall have paid Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Tax Excess, shall be adjusted to take into account any abatement or refund, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against rental obligations hereunder, in the amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such abatement or refund less Landlord’s costs or expenses, including without limitation appraiser’s and attorneys’ fees, of securing such abatement or refund (to the extent such costs were not originally included in Taxes) or, if the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has no outstanding monetary obligations to Landlord, Landlord shall promptly pay such amount to Tenant. Tenant shall not apply for any real estate tax abatement without the prior written consent of Landlord.

(d) Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, inventory, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant contained in, on, upon or around the Premises or related to Tenant’s use of the Premises. If any of Tenant’s personal property shall be assessed with Landlord’s real or personal property, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the taxes attributable to Tenant within twenty (20) days after receipt of a written statement from Landlord setting forth the taxes applicable to Tenant’s property.

4.3 TENANT’S SHARE OF OPERATING COSTS

Commencing on January 1, 2018, in the event that the Operating Costs (defined below) during any calendar year during the Lease Term exceed Operating Costs for the Base Operating Year (i.e., the Base Operating Costs), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such excess (the “ Operating Costs Excess ”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord pro rata monthly installments on account of the projected Operating Costs Excess for each Lease calendar year during the Lease Term in amounts reasonably calculated from time to time, but not more than once during the Lease calendar year, by Landlord with an adjustment made after the close of the Lease calendar year, to account for actual Operating Costs Excess for such Lease calendar year. Landlord shall deliver a statement of actual expenses in line-item detail, consistently applied throughout the Lease Term, within ninety (90) days after the close of each Lease calendar Year.

If the total of such monthly installments is less than such liability for such Lease calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such difference, as additional rent, within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives Landlord’s invoice therefore, together with all supporting and backup documentation relevant thereto.

As used in this Lease, the term “ Operating Costs ” shall mean all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation, insuring, repair, equipping, maintenance, replacement, management, cleaning and protection (collectively, “the Operation ”) of the Building, the Building heating, ventilating, electrical, plumbing, and other systems and the Lot (collectively, “ the Property ”), including, without limitation, the following:

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Xxxxxx’s Proportionate Share of any Operating Costs Excess for each Lease year following the first Lease Year, exclusive of real estate taxes (the Building’s proportionate share thereof), Landlord’s Insurance, snow and ice removal, and utilities (the “ Uncontrollable Cam Expenses ”), shall not exceed 105% per year, on a non-cumulative basis, of the portion of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs Excess attributable to these same Operating Costs (as subject to same exclusions) actually paid by Tenant for the prior Lease year.

If during all or part of any Lease calendar year (including, without limitation, the calendar year in which occurs any part of the term of this Lease and includes the Base Operating Year), Landlord is not performing or furnishing any item to any portion of the Building (the cost of which, if performed or furnished by Landlord to such portion of the Building would constitute a part of Operating Costs) on account of such portion of the Building not being occupied or leased, then Operating Costs shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional costs and expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had performed or furnished such item to 95% of the Building.

4.4 INSPECTION RIGHT.

Landlord shall permit Tenant, at Tenant’s expense and during normal business hours, but only one time with respect to any Lease calendar year, including the Base Operating Year, to review Landlord’s invoices and statements relating to the Operating Costs for the applicable Lease calendar year for the purpose of verifying the Operating Costs and Tenant’s share thereof, provided that notice of Xxxxxx’s desire to so review is given to Landlord not later than 120 days after Xxxxxx receives an annual statement from Landlord, and provided that such review is thereafter commenced and prosecuted by Tenant with due diligence. Landlord shall make available to Tenant as part of any such review backup documentation relative to the Operating Costs for any such period. Any Operating Costs statement or accounting by Landlord shall be binding and conclusive upon Tenant unless (i) Tenant duly requests such review within such 120 day period, and (ii) within 120 days after such review request, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that Tenant disputes the correctness of such statement, specifying the particular respects in which the statement is claimed to be incorrect. The accountant or accounting firm conducting the review shall not be compensated based upon a percentage of alleged overcharges discovered. No subtenant shall have any right to conduct a review, and no assignee shall conduct a review for any period during which such assignee was not in possession of the Premises. Tenant agrees that the results of any Operating Costs review shall be kept strictly confidential by Xxxxxx and shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity other than Tenant’s officers, employees, accountants, attorneys, and lenders.

4.5 BASE RENT DURING ANY EXTENSION TERM.

During the Extension Term of this Lease (if Tenant exercises its option to extend the Term hereof in accordance with Section 3.2 above), the annual Base Rent to be paid by Tenant shall be the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises determined as of the first day of the applicable Extension Term.

The “ Fair Market Rental Value ” shall mean the market rate for the rental of the Premises for the Extension Term, including updated base years for Operating Costs and Taxes, based upon rents then being paid for arm’s length transactions for comparable space in the area in which the Property is located, including all relevant factors. The Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined as follows:

Within thirty (30) days after the exercise by Tenant of its option to extend the Term, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value. Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the rental amount contained in Landlord’s said notice, and such rental rate shall be conclusively deemed to be the Fair Market Rental Value, unless Tenant notifies Landlord in writing, within seven (7) business days after Landlord’s notice, that Tenant disputes the aforementioned determination by Landlord, in which event the parties shall proceed to the Fair Market Rental Value determination as set forth below.

16

In the event that Tenant so disputes the determination of the Fair Market Rental Value by Landlord, and Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rental Value within 30 days, the same shall be determined as follows: Landlord and Tenant each shall, within ten days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, appoint an independent appraiser who shall be instructed to determine independently the Fair Market Rental Value. If the difference between the amounts so determined by such appraisers does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such amounts, then the Fair Market Rental Value shall be an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total of the amounts so determined. If the difference between the amounts so determined shall exceed ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such amounts, then such two (2) appraisers shall have ten (10) days thereafter to appoint a third appraiser, but if such appraisers fail to do so within such ten (10) day period, then either Landlord or Tenant may request the Greater Boston Real Estate Board or any successor organization thereto to appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days of such request, and both Landlord and Tenant shall be bound by any appointment so made within such ten (10) day period. If no such appraiser shall have been appointed within such ten (10) days either Landlord or Tenant may apply to any court having jurisdiction to have such appointment made by such court. Any appraiser appointed by the original appraisers, by the Greater Boston Real Estate Board or by such court shall be instructed to determine the Fair Market Rental Value in accordance with the definition of such term contained herein and within twenty (20) days after its appointment. If the third appraisal shall exceed the higher of the first two appraisals, the Fair Market Rental Value shall be the higher of the first two appraisals; if the third appraisal is less than the lower of the first two appraisals, the Fair Market Rental Value shall be the lower of the first two appraisals. In all other cases, the Fair Market Rental Value shall be equal to the third appraisal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party shall fail to appoint its appraiser within the 10 day period specified above (such party being referred to herein as the “ failing party ”), the other party may serve notice on the failing party requiring the failing party to appoint its appraiser within ten (10) days of the giving of such notice. If the failing party shall not respond by appointment of its appraiser within said ten day period, then the appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser whose determination of the Fair Market Rental Value shall be binding and conclusive upon Tenant and Landlord. Each party shall pay for the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by it, but the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be shared equally by the parties. All appraisers appointed hereunder shall be real estate brokers or MAI appraisers having not less than ten (10) years’ experience in leasing space or in appraising the value of leasehold interests in real estate similar to the Building located in the Boston Metro-West market. The foregoing determination shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties and enforceable in any court having jurisdiction over the parties.

If the parties are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rental Value (or the arbitration procedure set forth above has not concluded) prior to the first day of the Extension Term, Tenant shall make monthly payments on account of Base Rent (in addition to all additional rent and other payments hereunder) in accordance with the increase in Base Rent established in the Lease for the last month of the initial term until the Fair Market Rental Value has been finally established as herein provided, at which time an appropriate retroactive Base Rent adjustment payment or refund shall be made, if necessary.

ARTICLE V
USE OF PREMISES

5.1 PERMITTED USE

Tenant agrees that the Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant only for the purposes specified as the Permitted Use thereof in Section 1.2 of this Lease, and for no other purpose or purposes.

Tenant shall comply and shall cause its employees, agents, and invitees to comply with such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord shall from time to time establish for the proper regulation of the Building and the Lot, provided that Landlord gives Tenant reasonable advance notice thereof and that such additional rules and regulations shall be of general application to all the tenants in the Building, except where different circumstances justify different treatment.

5.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

Tenant shall, at Xxxxxx’s sole expense, promptly comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, certificates of occupancy, conditional use or other permits, variances, covenants and restrictions of record, the

17

recommendations of Landlord’s engineers or other consultants, and requirements of any fire insurance underwriters, rating bureaus or government agencies, now in effect or which may hereafter come into effect (collectively, “ Laws and Restrictions ”), whether or not they reflect a change in policy from that now existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof, relating in any manner to the occupation and use by Tenant of the Premises, completion of Tenant’s Initial Work and any Alterations performed by Tenant except that the Tenant may defer compliance so long as the validity of any such Laws and Restrictions shall be contested by Tenant in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings. Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, comply with all Laws and Restrictions generally applicable to the Building as a whole, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be required to make any structural change, alteration, addition or correction required by any Law and Restrictions which may be adopted or promulgated after the date of this Lease, unless necessitated by Xxxxxx’s acts, Tenant’s Alterations or Tenant’s particular use of the Premises for purposes other than the Permitted Uses. Landlord agrees to promptly remedy any violations noted or issued with respect to the Building which shall either prevent Tenant from making any Alterations in the Premises or from opening for or conducting business in the Premises. Tenant agrees that no trade or occupation shall be conducted in the Premises or use made thereof which will be unlawful, improper, or contrary to any Laws and Restrictions or which will disturb the quiet enjoyment of the other tenants of the Building. Other than the Certificate of Occupancy required for the Premises to be procured upon completion of Landlord’s Work (which is Landlord’s responsibility), Tenant shall obtain any and all approvals, permits, licenses, variances and the like from governmental or quasi-governmental authorities, including without limitation any Architectural Access Board and Board of Fire Underwriters (collectively, “ Approvals ”) which are required for Tenant’s use of the Premises, including, without limitation, any which may be required for any construction work and installations in conjunction with the Tenant’s Initial Work, alterations, or additions made by Tenant to, in, on, or about the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall not seek or apply for any Approvals without first having given Landlord a reasonable opportunity to review any applications for Approvals and all materials and plans to be submitted in connection therewith and obtaining Landlord’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon Xxxxxx’s request and at Tenant’s expense, Landlord shall join in the application for any Approvals whenever such joining by Landlord shall be required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction, and Landlord shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Tenant in connection therewith upon Xxxxxx’s request. In any event, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs, expenses, and fees in connection with obtaining all Approvals. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, other than Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall be responsible for compliance of the Premises, including, without limitation, any alterations it may make to the Premises, with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. Section 12101 et seq.) and the regulations and Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities issued pursuant thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (collectively, the “ ADA ”). Other than Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall be responsible for compliance of the Premises with the ADA throughout the term of the Lease. Tenant’s inability to obtain or delay in obtaining any such Approval shall in no event reduce, delay, or terminate Tenant’s rental, payment, and performance obligations hereunder. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, (i) make all installations, repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises required by any Laws and Restrictions as a result of Tenant’s particular use of the Premises; (ii) keep the Premises equipped with all required safety equipment and appliances; and (iii) comply with all of Landlord’s and Tenant’s insurers reasonable requirements applicable to the Premises, Building and Lot. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor in the Premises exceeding the lesser of (a) the floor load per square foot of area which such floor was designed to carry as certified by Landlord’s architect and (b) the floor load per square foot of area which is allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all business machines and mechanical equipment, including safes, which shall be placed so as to distribute the weight.

5.3 INSURANCE RISKS

Tenant shall not permit any use of the Premises which will make voidable or, unless Tenant pays the extra insurance premium attributable thereto as provided below, increase the premiums for any insurance on the Building or on the contents of said property or which shall be contrary to any law or regulation from time to time established by the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association (or any successor organization) or which shall require any alteration or addition to the Building. Landlord shall notify Tenant of any such condition in writing and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after such notice to cure. If Tenant does not cure within the prescribed timeframe, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefore, reimburse Landlord for the costs of all extra insurance premiums caused by Tenant’s use of the Premises. Any such amounts shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder.

18

5.4 ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Other than typical office equipment, light manufacturing, laboratory, research and development equipment, including, without limitation, computers, copiers, and printers, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s written consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, connect to the electrical distribution system any fixtures, appliances, or equipment which will operate individually or collectively at a wattage in excess of the capacity of the electrical system serving the Premises as the same may be reasonably determined by Landlord who may audit Tenant’s use of electric power to determine Tenant’s compliance herewith. If Landlord, in its sole discretion, permits such excess usage, Tenant will pay for the cost of such excess power as additional rent, together with the cost of installing any additional risers, meters, or other facilities that may be required to furnish or measure such excess power to the Premises.

5.5 TENANT’S OPERATIONAL COVENANTS

The provisions of this Section shall be in addition to any other obligations and liabilities Tenant may have to Landlord under this Lease or otherwise at law or in equity, and in the case of conflict between this Section 5.7 and any other provision of this Lease, the provision imposing the most stringent requirement on Tenant shall control. The obligations of Tenant under this Section 5.7 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease and the transfer of title to the Premises. The following terms as used herein shall have the meanings set forth below: “ Hazardous Matter ” shall mean any substance: (i) which is or becomes defined as Hazardous Substance, Hazardous Waste, Hazardous Material or Oil under The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., M.G.L. Chapter 21C, M.G.L. Chapter 21D or M.G.L. Chapter 21E, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as same may be amended from time to time; or (ii) which is toxic, explosive, corrosive, flammable, infectious, radioactive, carcinogenic, mutagenic or otherwise hazardous to health or the environment and which is or becomes regulated and the presence of which requires investigation or remediation pursuant to any applicable law. “ Environmental Requirements ” shall mean all applicable law, the provisions of any and all approvals, and the terms and conditions of this Lease insofar as same relate to the release, maintenance, use, keeping in place, transportation, disposal or generation of Hazardous Matter, including without limitation those pertaining to reporting, licensing, permitting, health and safety of persons, investigation, containment, remediation, and disposal. “ Environmental Damages ” shall mean all liabilities, injuries, losses, claims, damages (whether special, consequential or otherwise), settlements, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees, fines and penalties, interest and expenses, and costs of environmental site investigations, reports and cleanup, including without limitation costs incurred in connection with: any investigation or assessment of site conditions or of health of persons using the Building or the Lot; risk assessment and monitoring; any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any governmental agency or reasonably recommended by Landlord’s environmental consultant; any reasonable decrease in value of Landlord’s Property; any reasonable damage caused by loss or restriction of rentable or usable space in Landlord’s Property; or any reasonable damage caused by adverse impact on marketing or financing of Landlord’s Property.

The terms of this Section 5.7 shall apply to any transportation, storage, use or disposal of Hazardous Materials irrespective of whether Tenant has obtained Landlord’s consent therefore but nothing in this Lease shall limit or otherwise modify the requirement of obtaining Landlord’s prior consent as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.7.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the removal or remediation of Hazardous Material that is not in compliance with applicable law on, the Term Commencement Date and which is located in, on or under the Building or the Property prior to the Term Commencement Date and was not brought on to the Property by Tenant or its agents. Landlord warrants and represents that there are currently no Hazardous Materials in the Premises.

ARTICLE VI
INSTALLATIONS, ALTERATIONS, AND ADDITIONS

Following completion of the Landlord’s Work, Tenant after the Term Commencement Date shall not make any alterations, improvements, additions, utility installations or repairs (hereinafter collectively referred to as “ Alterations ”) to the Premises, except in accordance with this Article VI and with the prior written consent of Landlord, which Xxxxxxxx agrees not unreasonably to withhold, condition or delay as to nonstructural Alterations (nonstructural Alterations being those that do not affect the Building’s structure, roof, exterior or mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety or other Building systems of the Building or Premises) within the ten (10) day period below. Tenant shall submit, together with Tenant’s request for approval to perform any such alterations, additions or improvements, a specific request for Landlord’s decision as to whether or not such alterations, additions or improvements must be removed upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and Landlord shall inform Tenant of its decision as to Alterations, the removal thereof, and Xxxxxx’s contractors within ten (10) days of such request; provided, however, Tenant shall have no demolition obligation and shall not be required to remove any Alterations unless the same are not generally usable by other office tenants. Such decision shall be binding upon both Landlord and Xxxxxx, their successors and assigns. In the event that Landlord fails to supply Tenant with an answer in writing, Tenant will not be required to remove said alterations, additions or improvements upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and such Alterations and contractors shall be approved. In no event shall Landlord’s approval of any proposed Alterations to the Premises constitute a representation by Landlord that such work complies with the requirements of any applicable Laws and Restrictions, including without limitation the requirements of the ADA. Without limiting any of the terms hereof, Landlord will not approve any Alterations increasing the cost of construction, insurance or taxes on the Building or of Landlord’s services to the Premises, unless Tenant first gives assurances acceptable to Landlord for payment of such increased cost. All Alterations made by Tenant shall be made in accordance with plans and specifications (to the extent plans and specifications are required by Laws and Requirements to be submitted to any governmental authority) which have been reasonably approved in writing by the Landlord, pursuant to a duly issued permit, and in accordance with all Laws and Restrictions, the provisions of this Lease and in a good and first-class workmanlike manner using new materials of same or better quality as base building standard materials, free of all liens and encumbrances and prior to Tenant’s use of the Premises, after the performance of any such Alterations, Tenant shall procure (other than the Certificate of Occupancy) any required certificates. All Alterations shall be performed by a contractor or contractors selected by Xxxxxx and reasonably approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs it incurs in reviewing the plans therefore. If, as a result of any Alterations made by Tenant, Landlord is obligated to comply with ADA or any other Laws or Restrictions and such compliance requires Landlord to make any improvement or Alteration to any portion of the Building, as a condition to Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay to Landlord prior to the construction of any

21

Alteration by Xxxxxx, the entire reasonable cost of any improvement or Alteration Landlord is obligated to complete by such Law and Restriction. After the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord shall have the right to stop any work not being performed in conformance with this Lease, and, at its option, may repair or remove non-conforming work at the expense of Tenant. Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from and against any liens, encumbrances and violations of Laws and Restrictions caused by Tenant’s Alterations. The filing of any lien or encumbrance, or the violation of Laws or Restrictions caused by Tenant’s Alterations, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, shall constitute a default hereunder, and Tenant, at its expense, shall satisfy, cancel or discharge all such liens relating to any Alterations, and remove same from the record (or may bond such liens) within thirty (30) days after Landlord makes written demand therefor as set forth in Section 17.21 hereof. The repair and indemnity obligations of Tenant hereunder, including Xxxxxx’s obligations to repay Landlord the cost of repairing or removing Alterations, shall survive the termination of this Lease. All Alterations performed by Tenant in the Premises shall remain therein (unless Landlord directs Tenant to remove the same on termination or expiration of this Lease in accordance with the provisions set forth above) and, at termination or expiration, shall be surrendered as a part thereof, except for Tenant’s usual trade furniture and equipment, if movable, installed prior to or during the Lease term at Tenant’s cost, which trade furniture and equipment Tenant shall remove in their entirety prior to the termination or expiration of this Lease. Tenant agrees to repair any and all damage to the Premises resulting from such removal (including removal of Tenant’s Alterations directed by Landlord in accordance with the provisions set forth above) or, if Landlord so elects, to pay Landlord for the reasonable cost of any such repairs forthwith after billing therefore. At all times when any Alterations by Tenant are in progress, there shall be maintained, at Tenant’s cost and expense, insurance meeting the requirements under Article 11 of this Lease and certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage shall be furnished to Landlord prior to the commencement of any such work. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may make cosmetic alterations without Landlord’s approval, provided Tenant complies with the requirements for performing work in the Premises and for removal thereof upon expiration or termination of Lease Term in accordance with this Lease.

ARTICLE VII
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

7.1 PROHIBITION

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, and other than in the case of a Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer, voluntarily or involuntarily, this Lease or any interest herein or sublet (which term without limitation, shall include granting of concessions, licenses, and the like) or allow any other person or entity to occupy the whole or any part of the Premises, without, in each instance, having first received the express written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limitation, it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold such approval from any assignment or subletting where, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion: (i) the proposed sublessee or assignee is a current tenant or a prospective tenant (meaning such tenant has been shown space or has been presented with or has made an offer to lease space within the last three months) of the Building at any time that Landlord has space in the Building to offer such Tenant comparable to the Premises; (ii) the use of the Premises by any sublessee or assignee (even though a Permitted Use) violates any use restriction granted by Landlord in any other lease or would otherwise cause Landlord to be in violation of its obligations under another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party of which Xxxxxx has received prior notice; (iii) Landlord has sued or been sued by the proposed assignee or subtenant or has otherwise been involved in a legal dispute with the proposed assignee or subtenant; (iv) the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s business will impose a burden on the Property’s parking facilities, elevators, common areas, facilities, or utilities that is materially greater than the burden imposed by Tenant, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment; (v) Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods at the time of the request; (vi) the assignee or subtenant is involved in a business which conflicts with the Permitted Use hereunder; (vii) the assignee or subtenant intends to use the Premises as an executive suite; or ( viii) the assignee or subtenant is a governmental or quasi-governmental entity or an agency, department or instrumentality of a governmental or quasi-governmental agency that does not presently occupy any space in the Building. In no event, however, shall Tenant assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises to a proposed assignee or sublessee which at the time of the request is judicially declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or with respect to which at the time of the request an assignment has been made of property for the benefit of creditors, or with respect to which at the time of the

22

request a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or similar officer has been appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of the proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s property by a court of competent jurisdiction, or with respect to which at the time of the request a petition has been filed for reorganization under any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code now or hereafter enacted, or if at the time of the request a proposed assignee or sublessee has filed a petition for such reorganization, or for arrangements under any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code now or hereafter enacted and providing a plan for a debtor to settle, satisfy or extend the time for the payment of debts. Any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the whole or any part of the Premises (other than Permitted Transfers as set forth below) by Tenant without Landlord’s express consent shall be invalid, void and of no force or effect. This prohibition includes, without limitation, any assignment, subletting, or other transfer that would occur by operation of law, merger, consolidation, reorganization, acquisition, transfer, or other change of Tenant’s corporate or proprietary structure, subject, however to the provisions set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 7.1. Any request for consent under this Section 7.1 shall set forth, in detail reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, the identification of the proposed assignee or sublessee, and the material terms on which the proposed assignment or subletting is to be made, including, without limitation, the rent to be paid in respect thereto and such request shall be treated as Tenant’s representation in respect to the information submitted therewith (“ Tenant’s Offer Notice ”), and Landlord shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Tenant’s Offer Notice, either (a) reasonably consent or deny its consent to such assignment or subletting, or (b) if Section 7.4 hereof is applicable, exercise its recapture right. In the event that Landlord fails to supply Tenant with an answer in writing within such twenty (20) day period, such proposed assignment or sublease shall be deemed approved by Landlord, and Landlord shall have waived its recapture right in Section 7.4.

In any case where Landlord shall consent to any assignment or subletting, Tenant originally named herein shall remain fully liable for Tenant obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the rent and other amounts provided under this Lease and such liability shall not be affected in any way by any future amendment, modification, or extension of this Lease or any further assignment, other transfer, or subleasing and Tenant hereby irrevocably consents to any and all such transactions; provided, however, if this Lease be modified after any such assignment so as to increase Tenant’s obligations, then the originally named Tenant, unless it consented to such modification, shall be liable only for the obligations under this Lease as same existed prior to such modifications. Xxxxxx agrees to pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of billing therefor, all reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any request to assign or sublet, excluding Permitted Transfers, not to exceed $2,000.00 in the aggregate per assignment or sublet. It shall be a condition of the validity of any permitted assignment that the assignee agree, in commercially reasonable form satisfactory to Landlord, to be bound by all Tenant obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay all Rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease and the covenant against further assignment or other transfer or subletting.

Without limitation of the rights of Landlord hereunder in respect thereto, if there is any assignment of this Lease by Tenant for consideration or a subletting of the whole of the Premises by Xxxxxx (except any Permitted Transfer set forth below) at a rent which exceeds the rent payable hereunder by Xxxxxx, or if there is a subletting of a portion of the Premises by Xxxxxx at a rent in excess of the subleased portion’s pro rata share of the Rent payable hereunder by Xxxxxx, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, forthwith upon Xxxxxx’s receipt of the consideration (or the cash equivalent thereof) therefor, in the case of both an assignment and a subletting, fifty (50%) percent of the amount of any such excess rent after Tenant’s recuperation of reasonable attorneys’ fees, brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, cash allowance, tenant improvement costs and free rent pertaining to any sublease or assignment. The provisions of this paragraph 7.1 shall apply to each and every assignment of this Lease and each and every subletting of all or a portion of the Premises, except to a Permitted Transferee. For the purposes of this Section 7.1, the term “ rent ” shall mean all rent and additional rent, in each case after deducting therefrom Tenant’s costs in connection with such transaction, including, without limitation, broker’s fees and commissions, legal fees and improvement expenses, free rent and allowances and advertising expenses.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof without the consent of Landlord to (i) any wholly owned subsidiary or to any parent corporation of Tenant; (ii) any affiliate or entity under common control with Tenant or any affiliate or entity under common control with a parent or subsidiary of Tenant;’ (iii) any entity of which Tenant, a Tenant affiliate, Tenant partners, Tenant subsidiary, Tenant parent, or entity under common control with Tenant is a shareholder or partner or other equity interest holder; or (iv) any entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or stock or equity interest of

23

Tenant, by merger, consolidation, acquisition or other business reorganization (each of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) a “ Permitted Transfer ” and each assignee or subtenant thereunder a “ Permitted Transferee ”), which Permitted Transfer shall not be deemed to be an assignment or subletting within the meaning of this Section 7.1 nor require Landlord’s consent or approval or be subject to payment of any excess rent pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph provided that in any of such events (1) Landlord receives prior written notice of any such transactions (unless such advanced notice is prohibited under applicable laws or by confidentiality), and (2) in no event shall Tenant be released from its obligations under this Lease. If requested by Landlord in connection with an assignment of the Lease, the Permitted Transferee shall sign and deliver to Landlord a commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement. It is further understood that (a) shares of ownership or similar interests in Tenant or an entity with which it may merge or consolidate may be periodically offered for sale on public or private basis, and (b) shares of stock or other equity interests of Tenant may be transferred through the “over the counter” market or through any recognized stock exchange or in connection with a public offering of shares or other equity interests of Tenant, and no prohibitions or conditions on assignment or subletting under this Article VII shall apply to any such activities.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent and without being obligated to remit any profit or overage to Landlord, permit third parties (individually, a “ Space Sharer ”) to use and occupy portions of the Premises in common with Tenant not to exceed twenty (20%) of the total area of the Premises, provided that (i) such arrangement will terminate automatically upon a default occurring and continuing beyond any applicable notice and grace period under this Lease; (ii) any Space Sharer shall use the Premises in conformity with all applicable provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Article 2 hereof; (iii) in no event shall the use of any portion of the Premises by a Space Sharer create or be deemed to create any right, title or interest in or to the Premises for such Space Sharer; and (iv) the portion of the Premises occupied by any Space Sharer and the portion of the Premises occupied by Tenant shall not be, and shall not be required by law to be, separated by legal demising walls within the Premises or so as to create separate entrances from the elevator landing or public corridors. Any such use of all or any portion of the Premises by such Space Sharer shall not constitute or be deemed a sublease and shall not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Lease.

7.2 ACCEPTANCE OF RENT FROM TRANSFEREE

The acceptance by Landlord of the payment of Rent, additional rent, or other charges following assignment, subletting, or other transfer prohibited by this Article VII shall not be deemed to be a consent by Landlord to any such assignment, subletting, or other transfer, nor shall the same constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Landlord.

7.3 SUBLEASE RENTALS

The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

Tenant hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Landlord all of Tenant’s interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease entered into by Tenant, and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default occurs in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. Landlord shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such rents to Landlord nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a subtenant, be deemed to have assumed or recognized any sublease or to be liable to the subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform and comply with any of Tenant’s obligations to such subtenant under such sublease, including, but not limited to, Xxxxxx’s obligation to return any security deposit. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that a monetary default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, to pay to Landlord the rents due as they become due under the sublease. In the event Landlord terminates this Lease by reason of a default of Tenant, Landlord at its option and without any obligation to do so, may require any subtenant to attorn to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Tenant under such sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such subtenant to Tenant or for any other prior defaults of Tenant under such sublease.

24

7.4 RIGHT OF RECAPTURE.

Except in connection with Permitted Transfers or Space Sharers, with respect to any assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the entire Premises for the entire remaining Term of this Lease requiring Landlord’s consent, in lieu of consenting to any proposed assignment or sublease, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Lease and recapture the Premises upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Tenant unless, within five (5) business days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant exercising its option to terminate this Lease, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that Tenant is withdrawing its request for Xxxxxxxx’s consent to such assignment or sublease, in which event such exercise by Landlord of such option to terminate shall be void and of no further force and effect.

If repairs are required to be made by Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof, Landlord may demand that Tenant make the same forthwith, and if Tenant fails, refuses or neglects to commence such repairs and complete the same with reasonable dispatch after such demand, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) make or cause such repairs to be made and shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant’s stock or business by reason thereof. If Landlord makes or causes such repairs to be made, Xxxxxx agrees that Xxxxxx will forthwith, on demand, pay to Landlord the reasonable out-of-pocket cost thereof, and if Tenant shall fail to so reimburse Landlord upon demand, Landlord shall have the remedies provided for the nonpayment of rent or other charges payable hereunder.

ARTICLE XII
CASUALTY

12.1 DEFINITION OF “SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE” AND “PARTIAL DAMAGE”

The term “ substantial damage ,” as used herein, shall refer to damage which is of such a character that in Landlord’s reasonable, good faith estimate the same cannot, in ordinary course, be expected to be repaired within ninety (90) calendar days from the time that such repair work would commence. Any damage which is not “substantial damage” is “ partial damage .” Within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant (“ Landlord’s Casualty Notice ”) of the reasonable determination of landlord’s architect whether such damage is “substantial” or “partial.”

12.2 PARTIAL DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING

If during the Lease Term there shall be partial damage to the Building by fire or other casualty and if such damage shall materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises as contemplated by this Lease, Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Building to substantially the condition in which it was immediately prior to the

30

occurrence of such damage, provided however, that in no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend more than the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord, plus any deductible carried by Landlord.

12.3 SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING

If during the Lease Term there shall be substantial damage to the Building by fire or other casualty and if such damage shall materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises as contemplated by this Lease, Landlord shall promptly restore the Building to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Tenant's use of the Premises, unless Landlord, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such damage, shall give notice to Tenant of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease, provided however, that in no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend more than the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord, plus any deductible carried by Landlord, and provided that Landlord may not terminate this Lease unless Landlord similarly terminates the leases of other tenants in the Building aggregating at least 80% of the portion of the Building immediately prior to such damage. The Landlord shall have the right to make such election in the event of substantial damage to the Building whether or not such damage materially interferes with Xxxxxx's use of the Premises. If Landlord shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof. If Landlord has not restored the Premises to the extent required under this Section 12.3 within nine (9) months after the date of such damage or destruction, such nine-month period to be extended to the extent of any delays of the completion of such restoration due to matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, or if the Premises shall be substantially damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term then, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of such election to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the end of such nine-month period and before the substantial completion of such restoration or, if during the last twelve (12) months, at the time of such casualty, as the case may be. If Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, then this Lease and the term hereof shall cease and come to an end on the date that is thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord receives Tenant's termination notice, unless on or before such date Landlord has substantially completed such restoration.

12.4 ABATEMENT OF RENT

If during the Lease Term the Building shall be damaged by fire or casualty and if such damage shall materially interfere with Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises as contemplated by this Lease, a just proportion of the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall xxxxx proportionately for the period in which, by reason of such damage, there is such interference with Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue Tenant’s use of the Premises, but such abatement or reduction shall end twenty (20) days of when Landlord shall have substantially restored the Premises or so much thereof as shall have been originally constructed by Landlord (exclusive of any of Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings, equipment and the like or work performed therein by Tenant) to substantially the condition in which the Premises were prior to such damage.

12.5 MISCELLANEOUS

In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to make any repairs or perform any restoration work under this Article XII if prevented from doing so by reason of any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, the requirements of any applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules, or regulations, the refusal of the holder of a mortgage or ground lease affecting the Premises to make available to Landlord the net insurance proceeds attributable to such restoration, or the inadequacy of such proceeds to fund the full cost of such repairs or restoration, but reasonably promptly after Landlord ascertains the existence of any such cause, it shall either terminate this Lease or waive such condition to its restoration obligations and proceed to restore the Premises as otherwise provided herein. Further, Landlord shall not be obligated in any event to make any repairs or perform any restoration work to any alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises performed by or for the benefit of Tenant (all of which Tenant shall repair and restore) or to any fixtures in or portions of the Premises or the Building which were constructed or installed by or for some party other than Landlord or which are not the property of Landlord.

13.1 RIGHTS OF TERMINATION FOR TAKING

If the Premises, or such portion thereof as to render the balance (if reconstructed to the maximum extent practicable in the circumstances) physically unsuitable for Tenant’s purposes, shall be taken (including a temporary taking in excess of 180 days) by condemnation or right of eminent domain or sold in lieu of condemnation, Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other of such election not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant has been deprived of possession.

Further, if so much of the Building (which may include the Premises) or the Lot shall be so taken, condemned or sold or shall receive any direct or consequential damage by reason of anything done pursuant to public or quasi-public authority such that continued operation of the same would be uneconomical, Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other party of such election not later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of such taking.

Should any part of the Premises be so taken or condemned or receive such damage and should this Lease be not terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Landlord shall promptly after the determination of Landlord’s award on account thereof, expend so much as may be necessary of the net amount which may be awarded to Landlord in such condemnation proceedings in restoring the Premises to an architectural unit that is reasonably suitable to the uses of Tenant permitted hereunder. Should the net amount so awarded to Landlord be insufficient to cover the cost of so restoring the Premises, in the reasonable estimate of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall have no obligation to, supply the amount of such insufficiency and restore the Premises to such an architectural unit, with all reasonable diligence, or Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord has determined the estimated cost of such restoration; provided that Landlord may not terminate this Lease unless Landlord similarly terminates the leases of other tenants in the Building aggregating at least 80% of the portion of the Building immediately prior to such taking or condemnation.

If Landlord has not restored the Premises to the extent required under this Section 13.1 within nine (9) months after the date of such taking, such nine-month period to be extended to the extent of any delays of the completion of such restoration due to matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, or if the Premises or any portion thereof shall be taken during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term then, in either such case, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of such election to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the end of such nine-month period or, if during the last twelve (12) months, at the time of the taking and before the substantial completion of such restoration, as the case may be. If Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, then this Lease and the term hereof shall cease and come to an end as if such expiration date were the original expiration date of this Lease on the date that is thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord receives Tenant's termination notice, unless on or before such date Landlord has substantially completed such restoration.

Landlord warrants and represents that it is unaware of any currently pending or potential governmental takings or planned takings of any of the Premises.

13.2 PAYMENT OF AWARD

The Landlord shall have and hereby reserves and accepts, and Tenant hereby grants and assigns to Landlord, all rights to recover for damages to the Building and the Lot and the leasehold interest hereby created, and to compensation accrued or hereafter to accrue by reason of such taking or damage, as aforesaid. Tenant covenants to deliver such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to time request. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in any condemnation proceedings a claim for the value of any of Tenant’s trade fixtures installed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s expense, for relocation expenses, Xxxxxx’s Alterations, and for Xxxxxx’s leasehold interest hereby created, provided that such action shall not affect the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable hereunder by Landlord from the taking authority.

32

13.3 ABATEMENT OF RENT

In the event of any such taking of the Premises, the Rent or a fair and just proportion thereof, according to the nature and extent of the damage sustained, shall be suspended or abated, as appropriate and equitable in the circumstances, and based on the useable to non-useable square footage of the Premises.

13.4 MISCELLANEOUS

In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to make any repairs under this Article XIII if prevented from doing so by reason of any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, requirements of any applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules, or regulations or requirements of any mortgagee. Further, Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs to any portions of the Premises or the Building which were constructed or installed by some party other than Landlord or which are not the property of Landlord, and Tenant shall be obligated to perform any repairs on and restorations to any of Tenant’s alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises performed by or for the benefit of Tenant.

ARTICLE XIV
DEFAULT

14.1 TENANT’S DEFAULT

(a) If at any time any one or more of the following events (herein referred to as a “ Default of Tenant ”) shall occur:

(i) Tenant shall fail to make payment of Rent or any other monetary amount due under this Lease, including the Tenant’s Share of the Landlord’s Work Costs, within five (5) business days after Landlord has sent to Tenant written notice of such default;

(ii) Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant or provision herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed and Tenant shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant specifying such neglect or failure, or, if such failure is of such a nature that Tenant cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall fail to commence promptly to remedy the same and to prosecute such remedy to completion with diligence and continuity, except to the extent that Tenant is delayed by cause of Force Majeure as defined in Article 14.2 of this Lease (and this Lease and the obligations of Landlord hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because Xxxxxx is unable to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or delay is caused by reason of a Force Majeure Event, and the time for Tenant’s performance shall be extended for the period of any such delay);

(iii) except as otherwise provided by applicable law, if the estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process of law, or if Tenant shall be judicially declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or if any assignment shall be made of the property of Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or other similar officer shall be appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property by a court of competent jurisdiction, or if a petition shall be filed for the reorganization of Tenant under any provisions of law now or hereafter enacted, and such proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after it is begun, or if Tenant shall file a petition for such reorganization, or for arrangements under any provisions of such laws providing a plan for a debtor to settle, satisfy, or extend the time for the payment of debts;

then, in any such case, Landlord may, in addition to any remedies otherwise available to Landlord, immediately or at any time thereafter, in accordance with all applicable Laws, repossess the same as of Landlord’s former estate, and expel Tenant and those claiming by, through or under it and remove its or their effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant and/or Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant and this Lease shall come to an end on the 5th day after such notice as fully and completely as if such 5th day were on the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the term of this Lease (Tenant hereby waiving any rights of redemption, if any, under M.G.L. c.186, §11 to extent that such rights may be lawfully waived), and Xxxxxx will then quit and surrender the Premises to

33

Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as herein provided. To the extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease. In the event of any such termination, entry or re-entry, Landlord shall have the right to the extent permitted under applicable law to remove and store Tenant’s property and that of persons claiming by, through or under Tenant at the sole risk and expense of Tenant and, if the Tenant does not make arrangements to collect such property within thirty (30) days of termination, entry or re-entry and if Landlord so elects, (x) to sell such property at public auction or private sale and apply the net proceeds to the payment of all sums due to Landlord from Tenant and pay the balance, if any, to Tenant, or (y) to dispose of such property in any manner in which Landlord shall elect, Tenant hereby agreeing to the fullest extent permitted by law that it shall have no right, title or interest in any property remaining in the Premises thirty (30) days after such termination, entry or re-entry.

(b) Tenant covenants and agrees, notwithstanding any termination of this Lease as aforesaid or any entry or re‑entry by Landlord, whether by summary proceedings, termination, or otherwise, to pay and be liable for on the days originally fixed herein for the payment thereof, amounts equal to the several installments of Rent and other charges reserved as they would become due under the terms of this Lease if this Lease had not been terminated or if Landlord had not entered or re‑entered, as aforesaid, and whether the Premises be re-let or remain vacant, in whole or in part, or for a period less than the remainder of the Term, or for the whole thereof; but in the event the Premises be re-let by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit in the net amount of rent received by Landlord in re-letting, after deduction of all expenses incurred in re-letting the Premises (including, without limitation, reasonable preparation of the space for reletting; brokerage fees, attorneys’ fees and the like), and in collecting the rent in connection therewith. As an alternative, at the election of Landlord, Tenant will upon such termination pay to Landlord, as damages, such a sum as at the time of such termination represents the amount of the excess, if any, discounted to present value, of the then fair market value of the total Rent and other benefits which would have accrued to Landlord under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term if the lease terms had been fully complied with by Tenant over and above the then cash rental value (in advance) of the Premises for what would be the then unexpired Lease Term if the same remained in effect. For the purposes of this Section, the " remainder of the Lease Term " shall not include the Extension Term available to Tenant under Section 3.2 of this Lease except to the extent that the extension option for such Extension Term has already been exercised by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2. For purposes of this Article, if Landlord elects to require Tenant to pay damages in accordance with immediately preceding sentence, the total amount due shall be computed by assuming that Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs would be, for the balance of such unexpired term, the amount thereof respectively for the tax and lease years in which such termination, entry or re-entry shall occur.

(c) In case of any Default of Tenant, re-entry, entry, expiration and dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (i) re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord’s option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and may grant reasonable concessions or free rent to the extent that Xxxxxxxx considers advisable or necessary to re-let the Premises and (ii) make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord, in its sole judgment, considers advisable or necessary for the purpose of re-letting the Premises; and no action by Landlord in accordance with the foregoing shall operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord shall be entitled to take into account in connection with any re-letting of the Premises all relevant factors which would be taken into account by a sophisticated developer in securing a replacement tenant for the Premises, such as, but not limited to, the first class quality of the Building and the financial responsibility of any such replacement tenant. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent under such re-letting, and Tenant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation Landlord may have to mitigate Tenant’s damages. The Landlord agrees to list the Premises with a broker in the event of a termination, entry or re-entry under this ARTICLE XIV, provided that Landlord’s obligation to list the Premises as provided herein is independent of Tenant’s obligations under this ARTICLE XIV and shall not be construed to entitle Tenant to set-off against any amounts payable by Tenant hereunder in the event of a breach or alleged breach by Landlord of such obligation. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to give priority to the re-letting of the Premises over any other Premises in the Building or any other building owned by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages as a result of

34

Tenant’s default. It is agreed and understood that Landlord’s obligation to mitigate damages shall be deemed satisfied by its providing adequate information to a commercial broker as to the availability of such space (based on a customary brokerage fee being earned by such broker), having the Premises available for inspection by prospective tenants during reasonable business hours, and by acceptance of a commercially reasonable offer for the Premises (or reasonable portion thereof) from a creditworthy person or entity based on a form of lease agreement which is substantially the same as the form utilized for other space tenants in the Building, without material change therefrom (and Landlord shall be under no obligation to accept any offer other than a commercially reasonable offer from a creditworthy person or entity at then going rental rates for the Building).

(d) If there is at any time an assignee of this Lease or any interest of Tenant herein, the happening of any of the events described in paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section with respect to such assignee shall constitute a Default of Tenant hereunder.

(e) The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may, at any time, be entitled lawfully and Landlord may invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for.

(f) Subject to Section 17.16 hereunder which provisions shall control as to the allocation of such liabilities as between Landlord and Tenant, all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in enforcing its rights hereunder or occasioned by any Default of Tenant shall be paid by Xxxxxx provided Landlord is the prevailing party or a settlement is made in favor of Landlord in connection therewith.

(g) Upon any Default of Tenant or the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right of summary process under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 239, or other applicable statutes, and such other rights to recover possession as permitted by law.

Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy, insolvency, or like proceedings by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

All references contained in this Lease to the terms “ Default ”, “ default ,” “ breach ,” “ event of default ” or words of similar import shall be construed to mean default beyond any applicable notice and grace period. All references to the terms “ expenditures ”, “ fees ”, “ expenses ” and words of similar import contained in the lease shall be construed to mean reasonable third party expenditures, fees and expenses actually incurred.

14.2 LANDLORD’S DEFAULT

Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within 30 days, or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation, provided that Landlord commences such cure within thirty (30) days of such notice, except in the event of an emergency situation, whereby Landlord should proceed to cure immediately upon Tenant’s notice thereof. It is the express understanding and agreement of the parties and a condition of Landlord’s agreement to execute this Lease that in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease or seek an abatement to or offset from Base Rent or other Rent as a result of Landlord’s default, but Tenant shall be entitled to seek all other remedies, at law or equity, as a result of such default. Tenant hereby waives its right to recover punitive or consequential damages arising out of any act, omission or default by Landlord. This Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or delay is caused by reason of a Force Majeure Event (as defined below), and the time for Landlord’s performance shall be extended for the period of any such delay. As used herein, a “ Force Majeure Event ” shall be any

35

delay caused by or resulting from acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire, flood or other casualty, labor difficulties, shortages of or inability to obtain labor, materials or equipment, governmental regulations, unusually severe weather, or other causes beyond such party’s reasonable control (other than lack of funds).

ARTICLE XV
THE LANDLORD’S ACCESS TO PREMISES

15.1 THE LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF ACCESS

The Landlord and its agents, contractors, and employees shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours upon not less than twenty four (24) hours advance notice, except in exigent circumstances, or any time in case of emergency, while accompanied by a representative of Tenant (provided one is made reasonably available by Tenant), for the purpose of inspecting or of making repairs or alterations, to the Premises or the Building or additions to the Building, and Landlord shall also have the right to make access available at all reasonable hours upon not less than twenty four (24) hours’ notice to prospective or existing mortgagees or purchasers of any part of the Building. To assure access by Landlord to the Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord with duplicate copies of all keys used by Tenant in providing access to the Premises. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct any Landlord required repairs within the Premises without interference to the ability of Tenant to conduct its business at the Premises.

For a period commencing nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, Landlord may have reasonable access to the Premises at all reasonable hours upon not less than twenty four (24) hours advance notice for the purpose of exhibiting the same to prospective tenants.

ARTICLE XVI
RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES

16.1 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

(a) If any holder of a mortgage or holder of a ground lease of property which includes the Premises, executed and recorded subsequent to the date of this Lease, shall so elect, the interest of Tenant hereunder shall be subordinate to the rights of such holder, provided that such holder shall, by a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement, agree to recognize in writing the rights of Tenant under this Lease upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the performance by Xxxxxx of Tenant’s obligations hereunder; or

(b) If any holder of a mortgage or holder of a ground lease of property which includes the Premises executed and recorded prior to the date of this Lease shall so elect, this Lease, and the rights of Tenant hereunder, shall be superior in right to the rights of such holder, with the same force and effect as if this Lease had been executed and delivered, and recorded, or a statutory notice hereof recorded, prior to the execution, delivery and recording of any such mortgage.

The election of any such holder as to Subsection (a) above shall be exercised by notice to Tenant, in the same fashion as notices under this Lease are given by Landlord to Tenant, and, if such notice is given, such subordination shall be effective as to all advances then or thereafter made by such holder under such mortgage or in connection with such ground lease. Any election as to Subsection (b) above shall become effective upon either notice from such holder to Tenant in the same fashion as notices from Landlord to Tenant are to be given hereunder or by the recording in the appropriate registry or recorder’s office of an instrument, in which such holder subordinates its rights under such mortgage or ground lease to this Lease.

(c) Forthwith upon the request of Landlord, the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Premises, or the lessor under any ground lease affecting the Premises, Tenant shall execute and deliver to such party an attornment agreement providing that Tenant shall attorn to such holder or lessor in the event of a foreclosure of such mortgage or deed of trust or transfer in lieu thereof or a termination of such ground lease and incorporating such other terms and conditions as such party may reasonably require, provided that such agreement includes a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement by such other party to recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease. Subject to

36

the such attornment agreement, Tenant shall, in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under, any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord, its successors or assigns, encumbering the Premises, or any part thereof, or in the event of termination of any ground lease, if so requested, attorn to the purchaser or ground lessor upon such foreclosure, sale or termination or upon any grant of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and recognize such purchaser or ground lessor as Landlord under this Lease.

(d) Xxxxxx agrees on request of Xxxxxxxx to execute and deliver from time to time any instrument that Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 16.1, provided that such instrument does not increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant hereunder or decrease Xxxxxxxx’s obligations hereunder or otherwise adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created.

16.2 NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE AND GROUND LESSOR; OPPORTUNITY TO CURE

After receiving written notice from any person, firm, or other entity (or from Landlord on behalf of any such person, etc.) that it holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord as ground lessee, which includes the Premises as a part of the demised premises, Tenant will copy such mortgagor or ground lessor on any notice given to Landlord and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as performance by Landlord. Accordingly, no act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall have such an effect unless and until such holder or ground lessor, after receipt of a copy of such notice, has failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained of within thirty (30) days after notice of such default by Landlord beyond the applicable notice and cure period, or if such default cannot be cured in that time, if within such thirty (30) days such holder or ground lessor has not commenced pursing the remedies necessary to cure such default and does not diligently pursue such remedies , but nothing contained in this Section 16 or elsewhere in this Lease shall be deemed to impose any obligation on any such holder or ground lessor to correct or cure any such condition

16.3 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS

With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the holder of a mortgage or ground lease on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees:

(a) that the execution thereof by Xxxxxxxx, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such mortgage, or the ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder, unless such holder or ground lessor shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect; and

(b) that, except as aforesaid, such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises, or in the case of a ground lessor, the assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder by such ground lessor.

Landlord xxxxxx agrees that Xxxxxx’s compliance with the assignment of any rents payable hereunder, to any such holder or ground lessor under this Article 16.3 shall not be deemed a violation of the Lease.

16.4 NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT

Landlord represents that as of the date of execution hereof, (i) there are no existing superior mortgages other than mortgage(s) held by Santander Bank, N.A. (“ Existing Mortgagee ”) and (ii) there are no existing superior leases. Within thirty (30) days after the Date of this Lease, Landlord will obtain for Tenant, at no cost to Tenant, a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (“ SNDA ”) with respect to this Lease from the Existing Mortgagee. Landlord shall also obtain an SNDA for Tenant from any future lessor or holder of a superior mortgage as described herein.

37

ARTICLE XVII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

17.1 CAPTIONS

The captions throughout this Lease are for convenience or reference only and shall in no way be held or deemed to define, limit, explain, describe, modify, or add to the interpretation, construction, or meaning of any provision of this Lease.

17.2 BIND AND INURE

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the obligations of this Lease shall run with the land, and this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The reference herein to successors and assigns of Tenant is not intended to constitute a consent to assignment by Xxxxxx, but has reference only to those instances in which Landlord may later give consent to a particular assignment as required by the provisions of Article VII. Neither the assignment by Landlord of its interest in this Lease as security to a lender holding a mortgage on the Building, nor the acceptance thereof by such lender, nor the exercise by such lender of any of its rights pursuant to said assignment shall be deemed in any way an assumption by such lender of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such lender shall specifically otherwise elect in writing or unless such lender shall have completed foreclosure proceedings under said mortgage. Whenever the Premises are owned by a trustee or trustees, the obligations of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord’s trust estate, but not upon any trustee, beneficiary or shareholder of the trust individually.

17.3 NO WAIVER

The failure of Landlord or of Tenant to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such violation or to prevent a subsequent act, which would originally have constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of Rent or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such breach by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord or Tenant to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty.

17.4 NO ACCORD AND SATISFACTION

No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the minimum and additional rent then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law or in equity provided.

17.5 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

The specific remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which it may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to a decree compelling specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any obligations of Tenant as set forth herein (including, without limitation, rental and other monetary obligations, repair obligations and obligations to indemnify Landlord) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any expense incurred by Landlord in curing Tenant’s failure to satisfy any such obligation (notwithstanding the fact that such cure might be effected by Landlord following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event Landlord fails to bill Tenant for any Rent on or before the date which is two (2) years after the last day of the

38

year to which such bill applies, then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived the payment of any then unpaid Rent which would have been due pursuant to said bill relate (i.e., Landlord may not render bills or corrected, revised or updated bills in respect of any year more than two (2) years after the expiration of such year).

17.6 PARTIAL INVALIDITY

If any term or provision of this Lease or any portion thereof or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Lease and of such term or provision and the application of this Lease and of such term and provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

17.7 LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE; SURVIVAL

If Tenant shall at any time default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Premises and/or to perform such obligation, notwithstanding the fact that no specific provision for such substituted performance by Landlord is made in this Lease with respect to such default. In performing any such obligations, Landlord may make any payment of money or perform any other act. All reasonable sums so paid by Xxxxxxxx (together with interest at the Lease Interest Rate) and all necessary incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, shall be deemed to be additional rent under this Lease and shall be payable to Landlord immediately upon written demand; and if Tenant shall default in such payment, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as Landlord has hereunder for the failure of Tenant to pay Rent. Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any obligations of Tenant as set forth herein (including, without limitation, rental and other monetary obligations, and obligations to indemnify Landlord), shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and Xxxxxx shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any expense incurred by Landlord in curing Tenant’s failure to satisfy any such obligation (notwithstanding the fact that such cure might be effected by Landlord following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease).

17.8 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Tenant agrees on the Term Commencement Date and from time to time thereafter, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing, certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, that Tenant has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay rent and other charges required under this Lease and to perform its other covenants under this Lease and that there are no uncured defaults of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease (or, if there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the modifications, and, if there are any defenses, offsets, counterclaims or defaults, setting them forth in reasonable detail), and the dates to which the Rent and other charges have been paid. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section 17.8 may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the property which includes the Premises or any prospective assignee of any such mortgagee, however, Tenant shall incur no liability for its certifications reasonably made by Tenant in good faith.

Landlord agrees on the Term Commencement Date and from time to time thereafter, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written request by Xxxxxx, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Tenant a statement in writing, certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, that Landlord has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims with respect to its obligations under this Lease and to perform its other covenants under this Lease and that there are no uncured defaults of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease (or, if there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the modifications, and, if there are any defenses, offsets, counterclaims or defaults, setting them forth in reasonable detail), and the dates to which the Rent and other charges have been paid. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section 17.8 may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the property which includes the Premises or any prospective assignee of any such mortgagee or any other party.

39

17.9 BROKERAGE

Each party hereto warrants and represents that it has dealt with no real estate broker or agent other than the Broker(s) named in Section 1.2 above in connection with this transaction and agrees to defend, indemnify and save the other party harmless from and against any and all claims for commissions or fees arising out of this Lease which, as to the respective parties, are inconsistent with such party’s warranties and representations. Landlord shall be responsible for any commissions or fees owed to the Brokers in connection with this transaction in accordance with a separate agreement between the Brokers and Landlord. This Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

17.10 ENTIRE AGREEMENT

All negotiations, considerations, representations, and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein and this Lease expressly supersedes any proposals or other written documents relating hereto. No prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that no real estate broker nor Landlord or any employee or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or written warranties or representations to Tenant concerning the condition or use by Tenant of the Premises or the Property or concerning any other matter addressed by this Lease. This Lease may be modified or altered only by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord shall alter, change, or modify any of the provisions hereof.

17.11 HOLDOVER

If for any reason Tenant holds over or occupies the Premises (or any portion thereof) beyond the Lease Term without the written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall have no more rights than a tenant by sufferance (or, at Landlord’s sole option, such holding over shall constitute a tenancy from month to month, terminable by either party upon 30 days prior written notice to the other); and, in any case, Tenant shall be liable for payment of Rent during such period in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent payable immediately preceding the termination date of this Lease, with such tenancy otherwise on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, as far as applicable.
